During the recent months of research and discovery I have read several books. I aim to learn all I can on subjects that impact the ministry of Chloe's Place! Yesterday I read Positive Parenting With A Plan (Grades K-12)...Family Rules by Matthew A. Johnson, Psy.D., MSW. I am really excited about this book and the plan it provides!
There is legitimate concern for creating a family environment for multiple young women (and their children) with diverse backgrounds. Creating and maintaining a peaceful, nurturing atmosphere could prove to be quite a challenge! We must have a tried and true system in place before we admit our first teen mom and her children; this book outlines an excellent design for chaos free 'parenting'.
Dr. J and his FAMILY Rules parenting system offers a powerful alternative to family chaos. Our Chloe's Place residents may well come from homes that lack consistent structure and organization. Dr. J uses what he has learned in 2 decades as a mental health professional to outline parenting strategies that are positive, in-sync with scripture, and easy to understand. The ultimate goal of FAMILY Rules is it improve communication in the home through clarification of the rules, consequences, and rewards. He has taken strategies implemented in group homes, residential treatment facilities, and acute care facilities for children and structured them for individual families. I am excited to use this plan at Chloe's Place.
I really cannot imagine a family with children in Grades K-12 that would not benefit from reading and following Dr. J's FAMILY Rules. If you are interested in checking it out go to www.family-rules.com
